Hey all,
I'm considering taking an A+ class & exam this summer since it seems knowing what you're doing isn't nearly as important as having a cerification saying just that. What I'm wondering is if anyone has taken the exam recently? I ask because all of the practice tests I've found, I've failed because its all "In DOS 5 what blah blah blah" or "you have an ISA slot with IRQ blah blah blah" and I just have no idea how to handle this stuff. I've never worked with DOS, don't know what an ISA slot looks like even. I'm an XP/2000 god though, have built a number of systems (including an x64) both for myself, friends and a company I worked for. I guess what I need to know is if the certification is still old school or if it's updated? If it's updated I might just buy a study guide and skip the class. If its old I'll need to wake up early this summer so I can get my learn on. Any ideas?
